The "N-Lite 5000": An "En-lightened" Approach to Air Purification:

The N-Lite 5000 offers a more enlightened approach to air purification on many levels. First, it represents an affordable way to gain the benefit of multiple, proven technologies in one purifier. Now, you do not have to choose between this enlightened, multi-function concept, and an affordable air purifier.

The multiple functions include a high-efficiency allergen filter, which is 99.7% efficient at removing airborne particles. Unlike other filters that can serve as breeding grounds for micro-organisms, the N-Lite 5000 also features a germ-killing UV lamp. There is also a built-in ionizer, which is proven to enhance the performance of filters.

The N-Lite 5000 not only covers you against allergens and micro-organisms, but it also includes an activated carbon filter, which is the most effective way to trap chemicals, odors and cigarette smoke. The enlightenment does not stop here. New photocatalytic technology has also been added to this revolutionary air purifier. This form of air purification has been found to add a whole other safety net against pollutants, effectively removing chemicals (including VOCs such as formaldehyde), bacteria and odors.

How It Works:

Sliding Tray. The sliding tray makes it easy to open and close the front of the air purifier to access the purification filters, including the HEPA+Carbon combination filter, the germicidal UV lamp and the photocatalytic filter.

Activated Carbon Filter. The best type of air filter for trapping chemicals, gases, odors and cigarette smoke. According to Penn State Dept. of Aerobiological researchers, carbon filters serve to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemicals that other filters cannot.

High-Efficiency HEPA Filter. The most effective type of air filter at capturing dust, allergens and other solid particles (including bacteria). HEPA filters are recommended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Germicidal UV Lamp. The most effective way to destroy micro-organisms, such as germs, viruses, fungi (such as mold) and bacteria. Also destroys micro-organisms including those that are trapped by the HEPA air filter, preventing them from reproducing and recirculating through the room. UV lamps are recommended by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control.

Photocatalytic Oxidation Filter. This filter is coated with titanium dioxide, which produces highly reactive ions and electrons when combined with the UV light from the UV lamp. These highly reactive ions attach to chemical molecules, bacteria and odor-causing compounds, destroying them through oxidation. Independent tests by research scientists have proven photocatalytic oxidation to by highly effective. 

Safe and Effective Ionizer. Circulates trillions of negative ions to neutralize floating pollutants throughout the room. A Journal of Hygiene study found negative ions to improve efficiency of filter units, and multiple studies (including those by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture) have found ionizers to be highly effective against dust, bacteria, etc. Finally, the ionizer is proven to be safe, producing virtually no ozone whatsoever.

U.S. Government Recommendations:

The U.S. Government recommends technologies used in the N-Lite 5000 air purifier.

U.S. Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends air purifier with both HEPA Filter and UV Light. The CDC also recommends UV lights in homeless shelters to prevent the spread of disease, particularly TB (tuberculosis).

Dept. of Homeland Security recommends HEPA air filters, along with a pre-filter to preserve the life of the HEPA filter.

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found negative ions (ionizers) to be highly effective against dust and bacteria in recent studies.

U.S. Department of Energy found that photocatalytic oxidation air purification destroyed VOC chemicals at a significant rate, even at high air flow rates.

Pollutants Removed By the N-Lite 5000 Air Purifier

Just a partial list of the many types of pollutants removed.

Dust/Dust Mites. The N-Lite 5000 Hepa air filter is highly effective at capturing solid particles such as dust and dust mites. According to the Journal of Hygiene, ionizers help to increase the efficiency of filters, by causing airborne particles to conglomerate, making them easier to capture. Plus, negative ions also cause airborne particles to precipitate out of the air you breathe, and have been found to be extremely effective at controlling dust by U.S. Dept. of Agriculture studies. UV light can be deadly for dust mites.

Bacteria. Many bacteria are effectively captured by the Hepa air filter, as well as the anti-bacterial pre-filter (which also disinfects bacteria). The germicidal UV lamp serves to disinfect the bacteria trapped by the Hepa filter. Plus, according to studies by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, ionizers/negative ions are extremely effective at reducing airborne bacteria. The N-Lite 5000 also includes a photocatalytic oxidation filter, which has proven to be effective at destroying bacteria.

Pollen and Other Allergens. Hepa air filters are commonly recommended filter for allergens, and are generally considered the most effective filter for allergens. Ionizers/negative ions increase the efficiency of filters by causing airborne particles to conglomerate, making them easier to capture. Plus, negative ions also cause airborne particles to precipitate out of the air you breathe.

Mold/Fungi. Mold spores are effectively captured by Hepa air filters, especially with the help of ionizers/negative ions. UV light is deadly against the microbiological toxins associated with mold. The activated carbon filtration and photocatalytic oxidation technologies used by the N-Lite 5000 are effective against mildew smells.

Cigarette Smoke. The carbon air filter in the N-Lite 5000 absorbs smoke particles and the toxic chemicals associated with cigarette smoke. With the help of the photocatalytic oxidation filter, it also helps to reduce or eliminate odors from cigarette smoke. The ionizer/negative ions also remove smoke particles from air.

Chemicals and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). The carbon air filter is very effective at absorbing chemicals and gases. Also, photocatalytic oxidation has proven to be effective at breaking up chemical compounds. Furthermore, the ionizer also helps to neutralize chemical fumes.

Germs/Viruses. The UV light is deadly against micro-organisms such as germs/viruses, and highly effective at destroying them as they pass by the UV lamp. Negative ions have also been known to help to neutralize viruses.

Odors. Both the photocatalytic oxidation filter and activated carbon air filter are effective at eliminating or reducing strong odors.

Carbon Monoxide. A statistically significant decrease of CO values was found with an ionizer activated. This was discovered by researchers at Brompton Hospital in London, and published in European Respiratory Journal.
